1/35 Pararescue?
Posted by Trigger on Wednesday, January 19, 2005 10:25 AM
I'm working on MRC's 1/35 HH-60G and while I've seen aftermarket (a/m) modern helicopter aircrew, I'd like to have a couple of PJs to go with it. Does anyone know of any kits or a/m figures?

BTW before I get flamed here - I've seen the Nemrod (sp?) set and I'm considering that as a sort of last resort. Their "PJ" looks more like a crew chief or a gunner. I'm looking for a dedicated PJ figure kit.

Thanks in advance

This is the set by Nemrod. Some say the look like PJs, esp. the standing guy.

At Great Models: http://www.greatmodels.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=nem35200

Also from Nemrod, atnding and kneeling guy could be PJs as well.


Link to them also at Great Models: http://www.greatmodels.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=nem35201

They are pretty pricey though, $24 for two-man set, and $42 for the 4-man crew.

Heh heh. As soon as I hit the initial "Post Messge" I remembered that Nemrod kit. Thank you for the fast feedback Gino, you were faster on the draw than I was to amend my question!

I agree the kneeling guy kinda resembles like a PJ. I was hoping there was a dedicated kit so as to avoid any surgery or piece-mealing parts from other figures.

They're close, but not really there. Most PJs I saw were wearing the three color desert BDU. Webgear varied, but really can't see that well in 1/35 scale anyway.

For the diorama you know of, I'm going to use two of Dragon's Modern Marines kit.
One is already modified using a torso with a ILBV and the other will be OOB; of course both will get a head with a fighter pilot helmet (HGU-26) witch I'll get from Nemrod's PJ.

But to answer your question : No there are no other PJs except Nemrod's.
I have both Nemrod's kits and I realized the kneeling one in the second pic was a PJ only when I opened the box: he wears a BDU, a tactical vest (Blackhawk Omega?) and a HGU-26 without visor, pretty much the classic PJ gear.

So that kneeling guy in the four-man set is wearing an HGU-55 (fighter) helmet instead of an SPH-4 (helicopter) helmet? Still looks like I'll have to do some work with it - looks kind of barren in terms of gear.

I've got that Dragon Marine set and thought about "borrowing" parts from it too. Between PJs, up-to-date Marines and soldiers, it looks like I'll have to order more copies of it.

You guys confirmed what I had suspected. thanks for all your help fellas.
